Minimoderns festival rug

Posted on | Leave a comment

Festrug
Towards the end of last year, we showed you Minimoderns' fabulous festival wallpaper, a quirky design inspired by the Festival of Britain. If you were a fan of that design but have run out of surfaces to paper, take a look at their festival rug. 

It's the same great design transferred onto a hand-tufted rug. All the icons are there, from Skylon to the Dome of Discovery to the Royal Festival Hall and it would create a great focal point to a room. 

Each rug is 100% wool and made to order, all adding up to its £495 price tag.

Lucienne Day Panama rug from John Lewis

Lucienne panama
We recently showed you the Lucienne Day bed linen for Heal's, now John Lewis is also offering you the opportunity to purchase some of the textile designer's style with this Lucienne Day Panama rug. 

Lucienne Day had a long-running relationship with John Lewis as, from 1962 to 1987, she and her husband Robin Day were employed by the store as design consultants on a new house style and interiors for their stores. The rug, exclusive to John Lewis, reflects Day's interest in abstract design and has a strikingly modern look, although perhaps has a much more muted colour scheme than you'd normally associate with her designs. 

Each rug is a hand-woven wool and cotton mix and costs £295.

Jack Rug

There are undoubtedly other Union Jack rugs out there, but the Jack Rug from the Big Rug Store is just that little bit more stylish.

Rather than the usual view of the flag, here just a corner detail is used, and the stripes aren’t entirely straight, giving the impression of a flag blowing in the breeze. It is made from 100% wool and is available in a choice of sizes; 120 x 180 cm, 150 x 240 cm or 180 x 270 cm.

Prices range from £259.00 to £519.00. Buy it online at the Big Rug Store.

Stamprug

It's one of the most recognisable symbols of the UK and now you can get the postage stamp for your floor (or wall) with the Stamp Rugs.

Yes, featuring the Queen's head and available in pretty much every denomination and colour, the rugs are hand woven from 100% New Zealand wool in the Kathmandu valley, Nepal. Those scalloped edges that mimic the perforations on Royal Mail postage stamps are individually hand carved too, creating a 3D effect. The design is then embosssed on top.

Check out the full range at the website, with a price of…well, we don't know as the website isn't giving anything away. You'll have to drop them a line and you'll get a price based on your individual requirements.

Pop Art-style Explosion rug at Skitsch

Skitsch rug

Wanting to make a Pop Art statement in your living room? Take a look at this (hard to miss) Explosion rug from Skitsch. 

Designed by Fabio Bortolani, it references the comic book art that itself inspired the work of artists like Roy Lichtenstein. Unlike the Pop Artists, however, this rug proclaims its craftsmanship as it's hand-made from 100% wool. Pair it up with the Pakhuis Oost coat rack for a look that really packs a punch. 

A designer piece with the associated price tag, the rug will set you back 1,250 euros.

Jonathan Adler’s Peter Rug

Posted on | Leave a comment

This midcentury looking rug is Jonathan Adler’s Peter Rug.

I’m not sure who it is named after and I think it “Peter” may be the name of the pattern, which appears on other Jonathan Adler products too, rather than the name of rug itself.

The retro influenced pattern consists of brown squares containing smaller red squares. The rug measures 4ft by 6ft and is handmade from llama wool. It costs $600 (around £400) from The Fusion Company.
